Toy Fair 2012 Transformers Prime Images

We’re back with more images from Toy Fair 2012! For your enjoyment here now we have a look at the Transformers Prime toys on display! On show were Cyberverse Legion Wave 1 and 2 including a look at Cyberverse Legion Class Breakdown, Evac[/b] (vehicle only), Mirage and Breakdown. Deluxe Class Arcee, Knockout, Vehicon[/b] (vehicle only) and Hot Shot were also on display. The gigantic Optimus Maximus base playset was also on show, with a look at what is potentially its base mode – it’s very much a homage to Star Convoy!

Also revealed here is a Transformers Prime game for the Wii, and a couple of cool Transformers Prime skateboards!

Saving the best for last, we also have our first look at Voyager Powerizers Bulkhead and Starscream – read on and check them all out!

How do you feel about Skyquake/Dreadwing after watching the "Loose Cannnons" episode. I too was bothered at first by the "repainting" they were going to do, but now I am kind of excited. I was orignially planning on getting Dreadwing's cyberverse toy and Skyquake's voyager toy. Now I want both in whichever mold is better.

Those are the names tied to much of their promotion & inventory info, so even though they're still deluxes & such by size class, those names probably won't ever go away, especially for collectors. I'm not a huge fan of em either, but they stick & they're unique, so I say whatever.

Didn't notice that video before. It's definitely a niece explanation of what's going on with the size-classes. Also, for thirty bucks that Bumblebee is going to be hard to pass-up. Between him and Voyager Starscream, it looks like my Prime collection won't be all Cyberverse after-all, lol…

Just got my FE Bulkhead today and all I can say is wow. He just looks amazing and is really well put together. Interesting transformation and holds together very tightly in robot mode.

Given what we've seen of the RID Bulkhead I am glad I went ahead and bought him even if I do feel a little dirty for paying three times what a voyager would normally cost me if I could get it at retail. There doesn't seem to be any contest between the two of them.

Not really. Hasbro is a toy company in the West making toys. I am not sure what people are expecting.

Even the larger figures are being simplified exactly to appeal to kids more. Takara make collectables. Hasbro make toys.

For this i agree that Takara make collectables,looking at their product we should know but both are so called of the same company,each brand name having their own unique marketing strategy to sell their toys to the world.

Takara makes toys, too. Maybe kids over there can handle more from their toys.

Yes and no. The whole concept of toy collecting and displaying toy robots is totally different over there. It's far more accepted and accessible. Toy collectors make up a larger percentage of sales and it's considered a more 'normal' thing. This means that collectors are kept in mind more for the Takara market than they are in the West.

I agree that these are still toys that we are talking about, but there is slight shift. For example, Hasbro don't go to the same lengths on painting their figures because kids don't care so much and the paint wouldn't last anyway. Takara are more free to do this because collectors appreciate it. It also reflects in prices, which is why Takara can charge more for their figures than Hasbro can.

EDIT: For example, when walking around Singapore I came across this.

This is in a shopping centre, and it's one persons collection, just out on display.

The truth about RID is that THEY DON'T CARE HOW ACCURATE/INACCURATE IT IS. They are kids toys at the end of the day, and the average kid doesn't care how "accurate" a toy is. Granted, we like accurate on occasion, so if we have to pay for the better one, you know we will…

that is one bad thing about Hasbro,they are just targeting at kids nowadays
